Minhassa Peninsula, Northern Celebes: Between 0300 and 0400 hrs, the Japanese Eastern Force has put their SNLFs ashore, "almost unopposed", on northern Celebes and by 0500 are vying for control of the main city and naval base of Menado and the surrounding area on the eastern coast. On the west coast the port of Kema has already fallen and the Japanese are poised to strike inland, east and south, toward the Langoan area and it's large all weather airfield. The Dutch forces in this area, made up, mostly, of local levies and retired troops, hastily called up at the outbreak of war, are terribly understrength and frankly, out of their league. Given orders to defend the area, in order to deny the Japanese the important airbases, especially Menado II, near Langoan, to forstall their use against the main island of Java, Dutch Major Schilmoller has his hands full and he knows it. By daylight, the surprised Dutch troops are assembling and beginning to offer some resistance. The Japanese have a big, mid-morning, surprise planned for the Dutchmen.

I've never given a scenario a 1 rating. That should say it all.
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly
